00:01:50 ◼   ► your little tubes and have liquid [TS]

00:01:52 ◼   ► cooling inside them it's you submerge [TS]

00:01:53 ◼   ► the whole thing and the only thing you [TS]

00:01:55 ◼   ► have to do if you have like a fan they [TS]

00:01:57 ◼   ► disable the fan because there's no need [TS]

00:02:04 ◼   ► the outside of the drive and then you [TS]

00:02:05 ◼   ► submerge and it runs forever in there it [TS]

00:02:08 ◼   ► was pretty amazing I actually looked at [TS]

00:02:09 ◼   ► this I actually saw the stuff working [TS]

00:02:10 ◼   ► it's like something you don't believe [TS]

00:02:11 ◼   ► like you someone [TS]

00:02:13 ◼   ► oh I could just sink a computer in there [TS]

00:02:15 ◼   ► and it's gonna work you know I can know [TS]

00:02:25 ◼   ► something I probably have some other [TS]

00:02:26 ◼   ► website yeah no no - green tech comm [TS]

00:02:28 ◼   ► they've got a video and I think it'd be [TS]

00:02:30 ◼   ► great to get you out here and have you [TS]

00:02:31 ◼   ► just sort of we could dunk you into the [TS]

00:02:33 ◼   ► into the oil put like a wetsuit on you [TS]

00:02:35 ◼   ► and dunk you I'm pretty early as it is [TS]

00:02:37 ◼   ► who can only imagine how are you I [TS]

00:02:42 ◼   ► inherited so how are you were off last [TS]

00:02:52 ◼   ► week okay it's fun I was it relaxing [TS]

00:02:58 ◼   ► when I came back to work I couldn't [TS]

00:03:00 ◼   ► remember the code that I have to punch [TS]

00:03:02 ◼   ► in to get in like the security door [TS]

00:03:04 ◼   ► that's how you can tell when you had a [TS]

00:03:05 ◼   ► good vacation right do you stand around [TS]

00:03:09 ◼   ► out there wait for someone to let you [TS]

00:03:11 ◼   ► know like yeah I found myself typing my [TS]

00:03:13 ◼   ► zip code and I said no that can't be [TS]

00:03:14 ◼   ► right [TS]

00:03:15 ◼   ► so I just sat there for maybe three [TS]

00:03:18 ◼   ► minutes and let my brain spew forth the [TS]

00:03:21 ◼   ► correct answer the trick is that you [TS]

00:03:22 ◼   ► have to not think about numbers but just [TS]

00:03:24 ◼   ► close your eyes into the sequence with [TS]

00:03:27 ◼   ► your fingers directionally you know what [TS]

00:03:28 ◼   ► I mean muscle memory they call that yes [TS]

00:03:31 ◼   ► and that worked you got in and you got [TS]

00:03:37 ◼   ► to work and you were actually back last [TS]

00:03:39 ◼   ► week we could have done the show last [TS]

00:03:40 ◼   ► week but you said too much catching up [TS]

00:03:41 ◼   ► to do - now sister just one day I was [TS]

00:03:44 ◼   ► just back on Friday so Friday is not my [TS]

00:03:46 ◼   ► normal day and yeah I'd to catch up on [TS]

00:03:47 ◼   ► stuff okay so people are very upset they [TS]

00:03:50 ◼   ► first of all and immediately if there's [TS]

00:03:52 ◼   ► ever any change in the schedule faith is [TS]

00:03:54 ◼   ► nodding if there's ever any change in [TS]

00:03:56 ◼   ► schedule the slightest change slightest [TS]

00:03:58 ◼   ► or something's 15 minutes later than [TS]

00:04:00 ◼   ► usual [TS]

00:04:00 ◼   ► I mean understandably they blame me for [TS]

00:04:03 ◼   ► it even when it's not my fault usually [TS]

00:04:05 ◼   ► it is so they're right to blame me first [TS]

00:04:07 ◼   ► but they get bad people get very I was a [TS]

00:04:09 ◼   ► very upset we get a lot of it we get [TS]

00:04:11 ◼   ► more email if I was to say that the [TS]

00:04:13 ◼   ► first computer ever invented was uh them [TS]

00:04:16 ◼   ► you know the Mac LC that was the first [TS]

00:04:20 ◼   ► computer invented in 1919-20 - and state [TS]

00:04:24 ◼   ► that as a fact I would get less email [TS]

00:04:27 ◼   ► the show was 15 minutes late should be [TS]

00:04:31 ◼   ► worried when they don't get upset then I [TS]

00:04:32 ◼   ► know that because they care they do care [TS]

00:04:34 ◼   ► especially your listeners here they love [TS]

00:04:36 ◼   ► you they love when you get stuff wrong [TS]

00:04:38 ◼   ► yeah why don't we start with that this [TS]

00:04:40 ◼   ► doesn't what do you got wrong this week [TS]

00:04:42 ◼   ► last week I'm sure I got a lot of things [TS]

00:04:45 ◼   ► wrong but this is the one that was the [TS]

00:04:47 ◼   ► most egregious this I think person who [TS]

00:04:50 ◼   ► responded to me here did it through [TS]

00:04:52 ◼   ► Twitter this is a Stephen all read or Al [TS]

00:04:55 ◼   ► read okay there's a computer science [TS]

00:04:58 ◼   ► student or graduate graduate graduate [TS]

00:05:02 ◼   ► student yeah [TS]

00:05:04 ◼   ► King's College in London so last week I [TS]

00:05:06 ◼   ► talked to last week maybe two weeks ago [TS]

00:05:07 ◼   ► I talked a little bit about what's wrong [TS]

00:05:11 ◼   ► with hfs+ sort of going over the stuff [TS]

00:05:12 ◼   ► from my line review linen that I covered [TS]

00:05:15 ◼   ► and one of the things that I was and was [TS]

00:05:17 ◼   ► that when you have one process writing [TS]

00:05:21 ◼   ► to an HFS volume when it when it comes [TS]

00:05:24 ◼   ► time for it to actually write the [TS]

00:05:26 ◼   ► changes to the file system it has to [TS]

00:05:28 ◼   ► grab a big global lock and say okay I'm [TS]

00:05:30 ◼   ► writing nobody else can write and if [TS]

00:05:33 ◼   ► another process that's running in [TS]

00:05:34 ◼   ► parallel you know because on another [TS]

00:05:35 ◼   ► core whatever wants to write at the same [TS]

00:05:38 ◼   ► time it can't because it's blocked by [TS]

00:05:41 ◼   ► that one right it's one writer at a time [TS]

00:05:43 ◼   ► and HFS+ and that that's entirely true [TS]

00:05:44 ◼   ► and I was trying to emphasize how [TS]

00:05:45 ◼   ► horrible that is for concurrency I guess [TS]

00:05:47 ◼   ► you could probably imagine you don't [TS]

00:05:48 ◼   ► even need multiple cores because it [TS]

00:05:50 ◼   ► could be that just one process has the [TS]

00:05:51 ◼   ► lock and then got kicked off the CPU and [TS]

00:05:54 ◼   ► another process comes on to the CPU and [TS]

00:05:55 ◼   ► it wants to write but it can't because [TS]

00:05:57 ◼   ► the other thing has lock so it gets [TS]

00:05:59 ◼   ► kicked off the CPU and you know it's [TS]

00:06:01 ◼   ► horrible for concurrency even with a [TS]

00:06:02 ◼   ► single quorum with multiple cores is bad [TS]

00:06:04 ◼   ► too and to try to emphasize how bad this [TS]

00:06:06 ◼   ► was I went one step too far and tried to [TS]

00:06:08 ◼   ► give an example of a raid setup or a [TS]

00:06:11 ◼   ► multi disc set up with multiple spindles [TS]

00:06:13 ◼   ► and if you were limited to one writer I [TS]

00:06:15 ◼   ► said that that would be a waste of the [TS]

00:06:17 ◼   ► capacity of those spindles that's not [TS]

00:06:19 ◼   ► actually true it really depends on [TS]

00:06:22 ◼   ► what's managing those spindles if a [TS]

00:06:24 ◼   ► traditional raid is managing those [TS]

00:06:25 ◼   ► spindles is pretty much up to the RAID [TS]

00:06:27 ◼   ► controller how to do that for example if [TS]

00:06:28 ◼   ► you are doing a mirroring raid even if [TS]

00:06:31 ◼   ► you have one writer you're still using [TS]

00:06:32 ◼   ► your spindles because you're mirroring [TS]

00:06:34 ◼   ► you know you're right to both sets of [TS]

00:06:36 ◼   ► spindles right and there are many raid [TS]

00:06:38 ◼   ► configurations that have a mirroring [TS]

00:06:39 ◼   ► component you know raid 10 or [TS]

00:06:41 ◼   ► all the different combinations raid 6 [TS]

00:06:43 ◼   ► sometimes you're writing parity to one [TS]

00:06:45 ◼   ► of the drives so that's another instance [TS]

00:06:46 ◼   ► where it's been multiple spindles would [TS]

00:06:47 ◼   ► be in flight so that was a bad bad [TS]

00:06:51 ◼   ► attempt to explain the implications of [TS]

00:06:53 ◼   ► only having one right at a time because [TS]

00:06:54 ◼   ► in raid and other multi-volume [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► multi-disc setups the number of spindles [TS]

00:07:00 ◼   ► in action at any one time is not limited [TS]

00:07:04 ◼   ► by the limitations of the file system [TS]

00:07:05 ◼   ► it's really up to the controller and how [TS]

00:07:07 ◼   ► it's dipping up data so that was a bad [TS]

00:07:09 ◼   ► example and Steven called me on that and [TS]

00:07:11 ◼   ► that was good call only only because he [TS]

00:07:14 ◼   ► has an advanced degree do you even [TS]

00:07:15 ◼   ► acknowledge him [TS]

00:07:16 ◼   ► no I didn't know who he was when he sent [TS]

00:07:19 ◼   ► the thing I just looked up this [TS]

00:07:20 ◼   ► information so I would know who do [TS]

00:07:21 ◼   ► properly credit but he was the only [TS]

00:07:22 ◼   ► person who yelled about that if we had [TS]

00:07:24 ◼   ► anybody I mean if you if I had heard the [TS]

00:07:27 ◼   ► same thing on a podcast and had been in [TS]

00:07:29 ◼   ► a critical thinking mindset I would have [TS]

00:07:30 ◼   ► caught myself in that error as it was [TS]

00:07:32 ◼   ► just a dumb off the coffee example that [TS]

00:07:34 ◼   ► really makes no sense if you think about [TS]

00:07:35 ◼   ► it for more than two seconds so my bad [TS]

00:07:39 ◼   ► some more follow up remember we talked [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► about the dock indicator lights and how [TS]

00:07:44 ◼   ► they change the defaults and you know [TS]

00:07:45 ◼   ► whether they're on or off in line and [TS]

00:07:47 ◼   ► all that business maybe two shows ago [TS]

00:07:48 ◼   ► mm-hmm and I made a joke that like now [TS]

00:07:52 ◼   ► that they changed the default so that [TS]

00:07:54 ◼   ► they're on why even have the option [TS]

00:07:56 ◼   ► because who in their right mind is going [TS]

00:07:57 ◼   ► to go in there and turn them off because [TS]

00:07:58 ◼   ► novice user is the vast majority of [TS]

00:08:00 ◼   ► users are just never going to touch a [TS]

00:08:01 ◼   ► default so whatever the default is [TS]

00:08:02 ◼   ► that's what it is and if you technically [TS]

00:08:04 ◼   ► inclined users I've said they're they're [TS]

00:08:07 ◼   ► the ones who are going to want the dots [TS]

00:08:08 ◼   ► to be on because if you're that kind of [TS]

00:08:09 ◼   ► techie nerd about this option you also [TS]

00:08:11 ◼   ► are probably used to the old way of [TS]

00:08:13 ◼   ► doing things you want your dots so you [TS]

00:08:15 ◼   ► know what's running and what's not and a [TS]

00:08:17 ◼   ► whole bunch of people replied to me [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► through various means to say that they [TS]

00:08:22 ◼   ► actually did go in there and turn that [TS]

00:08:24 ◼   ► option off and every single one of them [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► had this or a similar variant of this as [TS]

00:08:30 ◼   ► their explanation they said they don't [TS]

00:08:31 ◼   ► put non-running apps in the dock so [TS]

00:08:34 ◼   ► everything every application of the dock [TS]

00:08:36 ◼   ► is running like they don't have [TS]

00:08:37 ◼   ► permanent citizenship in the dock at all [TS]

00:08:39 ◼   ► it just seems crazy to me because that [TS]

00:08:41 ◼   ► means when you start up your computer [TS]

00:08:42 ◼   ► the only thing in the dock is on the [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► left side of the dock anyway is the [TS]

00:08:46 ◼   ► finder icon and nothing else I guess so [TS]

00:08:48 ◼   ► that parently that's how these people [TS]

00:08:50 ◼   ► roll and they you know so obviously they [TS]

00:08:52 ◼   ► turn off the dots and whenever any [TS]

00:08:53 ◼   ► application [TS]

00:08:55 ◼   ► piers in the dock obviously it's running [TS]

00:08:57 ◼   ► there's no need for a dot to be [TS]

00:08:58 ◼   ► underneath it so the dots are just [TS]

00:08:59 ◼   ► redundant noise and turning them off you [TS]

00:09:01 ◼   ► know makes the appearance nicer so [TS]

00:09:03 ◼   ► that's that's the way people use their [TS]

00:09:04 ◼   ► computers is something I hadn't occurred [TS]

00:09:06 ◼   ► to me but that's what they did the [TS]

00:09:07 ◼   ► reason it didn't occur to me is because [TS]

00:09:10 ◼   ► it just seems so weird to me not to use [TS]

00:09:12 ◼   ► the dock as a launcher at all I guess [TS]

00:09:14 ◼   ► that's kind of odd because I use [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► Quicksilver as my launcher so I guess no [TS]

00:09:17 ◼   ► you're not like a launch bar I would if [TS]

00:09:18 ◼   ► see I would have pegged you for a launch [TS]

00:09:19 ◼   ► bar she's never shown that yeah I'm I'll [TS]

00:09:22 ◼   ► do a little side bar and I don't know [TS]

00:09:24 ◼   ► this would be a great show I'm gonna do [TS]

00:09:26 ◼   ► that we gotta do it let me just do a [TS]

00:09:28 ◼   ► side bar in this was it'll take two [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► seconds okay I say before I talk for [TS]

00:09:31 ◼   ► five minutes [TS]

00:09:32 ◼   ► all right that's assuming that doesn't [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► mean I don't even ask any questions yeah [TS]

00:09:36 ◼   ► so I've been a Quicksilver user since [TS]

00:09:39 ◼   ► whenever it first became calm okay wait [TS]

00:09:41 ◼   ► a minute hang on hang on [TS]

00:09:42 ◼   ► what is Quicksilver John oh so hard to [TS]

00:09:45 ◼   ► explain it as far as I'm concerned it's [TS]

00:09:51 ◼   ► a thing that appears when you hit [TS]

00:09:53 ◼   ► command space and then you type stuff [TS]

00:09:55 ◼   ► and when you type stuff [TS]

00:09:57 ◼   ► it presents options to you of what [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► you're typing what it thinks you're [TS]

00:09:59 ◼   ► typing means then when you return it [TS]

00:10:01 ◼   ► does whatever the current option is so [TS]

00:10:03 ◼   ► for example if I were to hit a command [TS]

00:10:04 ◼   ► space and type mail M ail right so you [TS]

00:10:08 ◼   ► had it if you had it configured in a [TS]

00:10:11 ◼   ► particular way it could be that the [TS]

00:10:13 ◼   ► Apple Mail application icon appears in [TS]

00:10:16 ◼   ► front of you and you say yes what I [TS]

00:10:17 ◼   ► actually wanted to do was launch the [TS]

00:10:19 ◼   ► mail application you hit returned and it [TS]

00:10:20 ◼   ► would launch mail but it could do all [TS]

00:10:22 ◼   ► sorts of things when you type mail like [TS]

00:10:23 ◼   ► this the number of ways you can [TS]

00:10:25 ◼   ► configure this that's why it's hard to [TS]

00:10:26 ◼   ► explain because there's tons of plugins [TS]

00:10:28 ◼   ► and you can configure it however you [TS]

00:10:30 ◼   ► want you can make like the world of [TS]

00:10:32 ◼   ► things that you're typing into can be [TS]

00:10:33 ◼   ► configured in ten different ways to [TS]

00:10:35 ◼   ► Sunday so it's hard to explain what it [TS]

00:10:37 ◼   ► really does and really the reason it [TS]

00:10:39 ◼   ► became popular I think is because of [TS]

00:10:41 ◼   ► that flexibility and because it was the [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► idea that you could do stuff without [TS]

00:10:44 ◼   ► taking your hands off the keyboard and [TS]

00:27:59 ◼   ► I believe I did see that one yeah lion [TS]

00:28:05 ◼   ► one enough the title really fits ah but [TS]

00:28:08 ◼   ► so to review for the people who don't [TS]

00:28:10 ◼   ► recall or blacked out since reading my [TS]

00:28:12 ◼   ► line review and forgotten everything in [TS]

00:28:14 ◼   ► Lion the relationship between running [TS]

00:28:21 ◼   ► applications processes and the visual [TS]

00:28:23 ◼   ► manifestations of those has changed so [TS]

00:28:26 ◼   ► in the old world that used to be that if [TS]

00:28:29 ◼   ► an application was running it had an [TS]

00:28:30 ◼   ► Associated UNIX process behind the [TS]

00:28:32 ◼   ► scenes it appeared in the doc and if you [TS]

00:28:35 ◼   ► alt tabbed you would see it's the like [TS]

00:28:37 ◼   ► on somewhere on the older I keep saying [TS]

00:28:39 ◼   ► alt tab but command tab you would see [TS]

00:28:42 ◼   ► its icon there and then we just oh yeah [TS]

00:28:44 ◼   ► no your windows history right there [TS]

00:28:45 ◼   ► missing yes the origins of that [TS]

00:28:48 ◼   ► keyboard shortcuts from the the alt-tab [TS]

00:28:50 ◼   ► world for Windows so in Lion now there [TS]

00:28:56 ◼   ► are a couple things that can happen the [TS]

00:28:58 ◼   ► first is that if an application is [TS]

00:29:00 ◼   ► written in a particular way you can say [TS]

00:29:02 ◼   ► that it supports Auto termination and [TS]

00:29:04 ◼   ► what that means is it's telling the [TS]

00:29:06 ◼   ► operating system if at any time you feel [TS]

00:29:09 ◼   ► like you need me not to be running feel [TS]

00:29:13 ◼   ► free to terminate me and reclaim my [TS]

00:29:14 ◼   ► resources so it's not the line doesn't [TS]

00:29:17 ◼   ► do this two random applications the [TS]

00:29:18 ◼   ► application has to explicitly be written [TS]

00:29:20 ◼   ► to tell Lion that this is okay and line [TS]

00:29:23 ◼   ► uses a heuristic to decide whether [TS]

00:29:27 ◼   ► that's something it should do and as I [TS]

00:29:30 ◼   ► wrote in my review it's pretty [TS]

00:29:31 ◼   ► conservative heuristic where it says [TS]

00:29:34 ◼   ► that it can't be any visible Windows for [TS]

00:29:36 ◼   ► this application [TS]

00:29:37 ◼   ► you can't currently be using it and [TS]

00:29:40 ◼   ► there was some of the criteria that I [TS]

00:29:41 ◼   ► can't remember but it's sort you know [TS]

00:29:43 ◼   ► it's not like you're going to be using [TS]

00:29:44 ◼   ► an application or even looking at a [TS]

00:29:45 ◼   ► window and suddenly will disappear it [TS]

00:29:47 ◼   ► has to be completely invisible not on [TS]

00:29:50 ◼   ► the screen and you're not currently [TS]

00:29:51 ◼   ► using and then the if you put the system [TS]

00:29:53 ◼   ► under memory pressure for example I [TS]

00:29:55 ◼   ► operate system will say okay well I'm [TS]

00:29:57 ◼   ► under memory pressure and here's this [TS]

00:29:58 ◼   ► application it's not visible and not [TS]

00:30:00 ◼   ► currently being used I will quit that [TS]

00:30:02 ◼   ► one now the other feature of Lion that [TS]

00:30:06 ◼   ► applications the support order [TS]

00:30:07 ◼   ► termination are also supposed to support [TS]

00:30:08 ◼   ► although I guess they it's not mandatory [TS]

00:30:11 ◼   ► but the idea is that they should support [TS]

00:30:13 ◼   ► this is the resume feature so that if [TS]

00:30:15 ◼   ► the user doesn't realize that the system [TS]

00:30:17 ◼   ► quit that particular application and [TS]

00:30:19 ◼   ► clicks on at the end to go back to it it [TS]

00:30:22 ◼   ► should launch back to its previous state [TS]

00:30:24 ◼   ► so you don't lose anything so all your [TS]

00:30:25 ◼   ► open documents is still there you didn't [TS]

00:30:27 ◼   ► have to worry about unsaved changes blah [TS]

00:30:28 ◼   ► blah blah so it's very difficult to [TS]

00:30:30 ◼   ► correctly support our termination [TS]

00:30:31 ◼   ► without supporting resume as well and [TS]

00:30:34 ◼   ► there's another twist on this is that [TS]

00:30:37 ◼   ► Lion doesn't necessarily kill the UNIX [TS]

00:30:40 ◼   ► process associated with that application [TS]

00:30:43 ◼   ► it may leave the process running but [TS]

00:30:46 ◼   ► remove the manifestations of that [TS]

00:30:49 ◼   ► application in the UI so it won't appear [TS]

00:30:52 ◼   ► in alt tab anymore if you have the dots [TS]

00:30:54 ◼   ► turned on it won't have a dot under it [TS]

00:30:55 ◼   ► in the dock but the process associated [TS]

00:30:58 ◼   ► with the application is still running so [TS]

00:30:59 ◼   ► the next time you launch it launch [TS]

00:31:01 ◼   ► quote-unquote [TS]

00:31:02 ◼   ► it will simply spring back to life [TS]

00:31:04 ◼   ► instantly because it was never actually [TS]

00:31:05 ◼   ► exited so that what I said in the review [TS]

00:31:07 ◼   ► is that you can have applications [TS]

00:31:08 ◼   ► without processes where you think you're [TS]

00:31:11 ◼   ► running it but really the process is [TS]

00:31:12 ◼   ► gone and processes without applications [TS]

00:31:14 ◼   ► where you have a process but there's no [TS]

00:31:15 ◼   ► there's no indication that the [TS]

00:31:17 ◼   ► application is still running it [TS]

00:31:18 ◼   ► disappears from all of your different [TS]

00:31:19 ◼   ► scenarios now what they're trying to [TS]

00:31:22 ◼   ► move towards is a situation like an iOS [TS]

00:31:24 ◼   ► where iOS you don't know or aren't [TS]

00:31:27 ◼   ► supposed to know really whether [TS]

00:31:28 ◼   ► applications are running in autumn and [TS]

00:31:29 ◼   ► you do that double tap multitasking [TS]

00:31:31 ◼   ► thing all you see is a it's like least [TS]

00:31:33 ◼   ► most recently used ordered list of [TS]

00:31:35 ◼   ► applications and you tap on them and [TS]

00:31:37 ◼   ► they either launch or resume or you know [TS]

00:31:41 ◼   ► just switch back the application you're [TS]

00:31:43 ◼   ► not supposed to know whether always it [TS]

00:31:44 ◼   ► running before did it just launch him [TS]

00:31:46 ◼   ► and you can kind of tell based on how [TS]

00:31:47 ◼   ► long it takes to come up whether it was [TS]

00:31:48 ◼   ► running already or not but it's not [TS]

00:31:51 ◼   ► something the user is supposed to know [TS]

00:31:52 ◼   ► ideally but the thing about iOS is that [TS]

00:31:55 ◼   ► it's completely consistent when you [TS]

00:31:57 ◼   ► double tap that thing you see the list [TS]

00:31:59 ◼   ► of all the applications that you've used [TS]

00:32:00 ◼   ► in the order that you use them [TS]

00:32:01 ◼   ► regardless of which ones are running or [TS]

00:32:03 ◼   ► not but there are aspects of the Mac [TS]

00:32:05 ◼   ► os10 UI even line that don't behave that [TS]

00:32:07 ◼   ► way so for example the alt tab switcher [TS]

00:32:09 ◼   ► when the process goes away whether it [TS]

00:32:11 ◼   ► was auto terminated by by you know line [TS]

00:32:13 ◼   ► or whatever it's not in the alt tab [TS]

00:32:15 ◼   ► switcher anymore it still would be in [TS]

00:32:16 ◼   ► the iOS which is not on the alt tab [TS]

00:32:18 ◼   ► switcher and the same thing with the [TS]

00:32:19 ◼   ► dock if you have an application that has [TS]

00:32:20 ◼   ► a permanent home in the dock yeah it'll [TS]

00:32:22 ◼   ► still be in the dock but if you have an [TS]

00:32:23 ◼   ► application that was just transiently in [TS]

00:32:25 ◼   ► the dock and it got auto terminated it [TS]

00:32:26 ◼   ► will be gone from the dock and you can't [TS]

00:32:28 ◼   ► even go back and click on it so those [TS]

00:32:30 ◼   ► two parts of the lying UI don't work [TS]

00:32:32 ◼   ► like the equivalent part in iOS but the [TS]

00:32:36 ◼   ► process model where the OS has the right [TS]

00:32:38 ◼   ► to terminate a process that's not being [TS]

00:32:41 ◼   ► used does work that way you're saying [TS]

00:32:43 ◼   ► it's at half it's a half-baked [TS]

00:32:45 ◼   ► implementation this way it's not [TS]

00:32:46 ◼   ► half-baked it would work except for to [TS]

00:32:48 ◼   ► get because the like I said the the rule [TS]

00:32:51 ◼   ► making is very conservative like well do [TS]

00:32:53 ◼   ► you really care if lion kills a process [TS]

00:32:56 ◼   ► that has no visible windows you know and [TS]

00:33:00 ◼   ► it's not the front most application well [TS]

00:33:02 ◼   ► obviously you're not using it so it [TS]

00:33:15 ◼   ► have no open windows in application and [TS]

00:33:17 ◼   ► do like commando to open something and [TS]

00:33:19 ◼   ► say oh wait a second I forgot about [TS]

00:33:20 ◼   ► something hit escape cancel that go back [TS]

00:33:22 ◼   ► to what you were doing and it's okay now [TS]

00:33:23 ◼   ► I can go back to TextEdit and open it [TS]

00:33:25 ◼   ► but in the two seconds that he's that he [TS]

00:33:26 ◼   ► switched away from text editor do [TS]

00:33:27 ◼   ► something else during those two seconds [TS]

00:33:29 ◼   ► text said it wasn't the frontmost [TS]

00:33:33 ◼   ► and lion came along and reclaimed it and [TS]

00:33:36 ◼   ► so then TextEdit isn't running anymore [TS]

00:33:52 ◼   ► some sort of time lag so it is not just [TS]

00:33:54 ◼   ► like I stepped away for two seconds when [TS]

00:33:56 ◼   ► I came back the application was gone [TS]

00:33:58 ◼   ► right [TS]

00:33:59 ◼   ► that seems like I I think they can they [TS]

00:34:03 ◼   ► can get away with this sort of half [TS]

00:34:04 ◼   ► measure because I don't think for [TS]

00:34:06 ◼   ► example that people would like the alt [TS]

00:34:08 ◼   ► tab switcher to behave like the iOS one [TS]

00:34:11 ◼   ► where applications just simply don't go [TS]

00:34:13 ◼   ► away from there they just become [TS]

00:34:15 ◼   ► unwieldy you know and I always said [TS]

00:34:18 ◼   ► works because you're kind of swiping [TS]

00:34:43 ◼   ► launched and time and time again people [TS]

00:40:47 ◼   ► dock you know you can't tell by looking [TS]

00:40:49 ◼   ► at it but some of your applications have [TS]

00:40:50 ◼   ► you were to quit them they'll stay in [TS]

00:41:09 ◼   ► when the person goes back to it they may [TS]

00:41:11 ◼   ► click on it and they might not even know [TS]

00:41:12 ◼   ► that it was killed that'll say I was [TS]

00:41:14 ◼   ► taking a while to switch to that [TS]

00:41:15 ◼   ► application then I would launch right I [TS]

00:41:17 ◼   ► think there has to be a time limit you [TS]

00:41:35 ◼   ► have a lot of RAM in their systems [TS]
